Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference?


I just had to share this. I went to synergistic research the other day to get some cables re-terminated. I saw some power cords on the floor and decided to ask about them. Ted, said they were all prototypes, would I like to listen. He brought me into the demo room and played some great music. He switched out the preamp power cord for one of the prototypes and man was it noticably better. Then, he left and came back into the room with a big smile on his face. He pulled a cable from the back that I swear was just recently built. He confirmed that no one had listened to it yet. He put the new power cable on the preamp and...................NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!! It was unbelieveable what a difference I heard. I could not believe how much bigger the sound stage grew, better focus, detail, and faster tighter bass. I had him switch the PC in and out because I just could not believe what I heard. Then he said "lets make it better." He brought it to his Tesla machine and gave it a quantum tunneling. He put it back in the system and to my surprise it was un believably better then what I had just heard. It now made the whole system easily sound 3 times as good. I just could not believe my ears. Then I had to know, how much could I get this cable for. I would think at least $2000 if not $3000. Nope, this will probably go for $500. Well Ted, sign me up for a few of those bad boys.

If a component is built to achieve a certain sound quality then why does the manuf. not supply components with the appropriate power cord? It seems a gross error on thier part not to include the cabling which helps make the component sound the best it can.
I don't understand the power cord game...
I think I'll stick to my original statement here.
"Why don't manuf. supply quality cable with the product?"
The answer of " products are designed to a price point" doesn't hold true in high end game. I don't think many manufacturers were considering price when building much of the product seen on the hi-end market. I'd really like to hear from a designer on this forum.
I'm not arguing that one cable sounds better than another. Thats personal and I couldn't care less, but if I were to order a pair of Vitus mono blocks, I cant see why they wouldnt be voiced on a supplied power cord!
